The Latin superstar will be serving as a judge AND an executive producer on Simon's new reality competition called La Banda. Auditions will be held all around the country looking for the ultimate Latino boyband as part of the biggest talent search in U.S Hispanic television history!!!

Boys aged 14 and over will be able to sign up to audition in a city near them. All of the audition information can be found right HERE.

The reality competition is set to appear on the Univision Network this September, and we can't wait to see all the talent on display!

Naturally, there will be comparisons to One Direction, who were discovered on Cowell's The X Factor U.K. But rather than attempting to ride on the coattails of 1D, La Banda is embracing an opportunity to finally get the Latino supergroup that the world hasn't seen since Ricky's Menudo days!

And we'll be able to watch each piece of the group come together on TV!

And if you're interested in possibly participating on this historic show then we've also got all the information you need right here! Check out the La Banda audition dates and the cities where everything is happening down (below)!!!

This CANNOT BE real life! We seriously must have wandered into a VERY Latino-licious lucid dream, because there is NO WAY something this INSPIRED and PERFECTO could actually be coming to fruition!

Because Gloria and Emilio Estefan have announced that they will be collaborating with the Nederlander Organization to develop a BRAND NEW BROADWAY MUSICAL based on the lives - AND THE MUSIC - of the pop sensation and her producer/entrepreneur husband!

Yeah. Take a breather, folks! You're going to need it now to keep on processing all of this GREATNESS!

According to the official announcement, the show will detail the Estefans' journey from humble beginnings in Cuba to their DOMINATION of the entertainment industry, with more elements and possibly more collaborators to be announced at a later date!

Jimmy Nederlander, President of the Nederlander Organization, says in a statement:

Richard Blanco not only became the youngest, but also the first hispanic and openly gay man to deliver the inaugural poem at President Barack Obama's second inauguration today.

We're feeling an OVERWHELMING sense of pride in this moment! The importance of this moment cannot be understated!

If we may, we'd like to share just the first first stanza of Richard's poem, One Day, which states:

One sun rose on us today, kindled over our shores,
peeking over the Smokies, greeting the faces
of the Great Lakes, spreading a simple truth
across the Great Plains, then charging across the Rockies.
One light, waking up rooftops, under each one, a story
told by our silent gestures moving behind windows.

This franchise is becoming about as consistent as the holiday around which its latest additions are always released!

As we reported, fresh on the heels of the success of Paranormal Activity 4, Paramount Pictures announced that it would not only be releasing a fifth installment, but also a Latino-centric spin-off in honor of the series' success in Latin America!

But while that version is expected to hit theaters sometime in the spring of 2013, there's no cause for alarm!

But now, the younger sister of Louis, Félicité Deakin (pictured above, left, with Louis), has figured out her own way to pay tribute to her mother in a very special manner, and we are SO touched by it.

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
